Take solace in knowing that it'll probably be a TC member that buys it. I missed getting one at the time, and although money's a little tight right now, if one comes up when I've got the cash to spare, I'd gladly scoop it up.

OK! Over the past few months, I watched 2 of these huts go for over $200 on ebay. Each time, it killed me not to bid on them, but it certainly wasn't in my budget. When this one came up with a "Buy It Now" a bit higher than the last 2 had gone for, I couldn't take it anymore! I was like "Squints" Polydoros with Wendy Peffercorn! I just had to get my hands on it! Once again, I had no dough, but I had to do something. I scrounged around the garage & lounge looking for stuff to sell; a car club plaque, a couple of mugs & some vintage license plates. It was worth a try. Onto ebay they went! After 4 agonizing days, I had the dough & the hut was still for sale. BUY IT NOW! The best thing is, the stuff I sold to raise the dough only cost me a total of $38.00! Without further ado, I bring you Ohana Hut #54 in it's new permanent residence, the Mauna Kai Lounge.

Great purchase! The Ohana Hut is one beautiful design and I hope someday I can buy one.
Big Kahuna, you can apply for Bill Me Later through PayPal. You can make monthly payments if something expensive comes up again that you must have.

Thanks, everybody, I'm so glad I finally got one. The funny thing is, how easy it was for me to raise the money, once I tried. I've got to shuffle my Holy Grail list, now to figure out what's next. haha
Cool Manchu: Thanks, for the heads up.

I was on the original waiting list for cancellations...it's been my longest ebay continuous search with many hits and misses and after 7 long years I've finally acquired mine just as we are moving into our MCM home and join the Sacramento Ohana! CHEERS!
